Fill a large, deep saucepan one-third full of oil. heat until it reaches 180°c on a cooking thermometer. cover a tray with kitchen paper, and mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.

Fit a star nozzle to a piping bag – 1-2cm wide is a good size. Fill with the rested dough, then pipe 2-3 strips directly into the pan, snipping off each dough strip with a pair of scissors. Fry until golden brown and crisp, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen paper-lined tray. carry on cooking the rest of the dough in batches, sprinkling the cooked churros with some cinnamon sugar as you go. Dip the warm churros into the melted chocolate or salted caramel sauce and enjoy.

Skin, stone and slice the avocado. Put in a bowl and squeeze over the lemon juice, turning the avocado to ensure the pieces are covered.

Divide the rice between the nori sheets and spread it out evenly, leaving a 1cm border at the top and bottom. Lay the salmon over the rice, followed by the chives and finally position the avocado across the centre.

Using a serrated knife, cut each roll into 8 rounds. Serve with sweet soy sauce for dipping.

Fold the bottom edge of the seaweed over the filling, then roll it up firmly. Dampen the top border with a little water to help it seal the roll. Repeat to make 4 rolls. At this stage, the rolls can be wrapped individually in cling film and chilled until ready to serve. 5
